The Mokali and Tshuenge rivers are located in the North-East and 20 km from the center of Kinshasa. In order to better understand the nature of the socio-environmental impacts of the activities practiced in their watersheds area, analyses of these activities were carried out. This study was made on the basis of direct field observations and surveys of the resident populations of these catchment areas. The assessment of the magnitude of these activities showed that the five environmental components are strongly affected and that appropriate measures should be taken to protect them.

Abstract
The Mokali and Tshuenge rivers are located in the North-East and 20 km from the center of Kinshasa. In order to better understand the nature of the socio-environmental impacts of the activities practiced in their watersheds area, analyses of these activities were carried out. This study was made on the basis of direct field observations and surveys of the resident populations of these catchment areas. The assessment of the magnitude of these activities showed that the five environmental components are strongly affected and that appropriate measures should be taken to protect them.

Abstract: (french)
Les rivières Mokali et Tshuenge sont situées au Nord-Est et à 20 km du centre-ville de Kinshasa. Pour mieux connaître la nature des impacts socio-environnementaux des activités pratiquées dans leurs bassins versants, des analyses desdites activités ont été réalisées. Cette étude a été menée à partir des observations directes du terrain et des enquêtes effectuées auprès des populations résidentes de ces bassins. L’évaluation des ampleurs de ces activités a montré que les cinq composantes de l’environnement sont fortement entamées qu’il faille prendre des mesures appropriées pour leur protection.
Author Keywords: Impact socio-environnemental, pollution, dégradation, bassin, rivière.
